TASMANIA POLICE Business Priorities 2020-21 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE, FIRE AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT A20/124550 Business Priorities 2020-21 Message from the Commissioner The Tasmania Police Business Priorities 2020-21 is a key strategic document to ensure that Tasmania Police delivers on its responsibility to provide quality policing services to the Tasmanian community. Our priorities align with the Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management’s overarching Future Focus strategic framework, and provide the structure for us to deliver on our four output groups: Public Safety, Crime, Traffic Policing and Emergency Management. Whilst policing is concerned with emergency response, law enforcement, and crime prevention, police officers also play an important role is supporting communities and providing leadership. This has certainly been demonstrated with Tasmania Police taking a lead role in the significant and unprecedented response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reviewing our COVID-19 response and embedding new business practices will be a key focus for Tasmania Police in 2020-21. Our response to the COVID-19 pandemic has also demonstrated the professionalism and reassurance that Tasmania Police provides to the Tasmanian community. Supporting our own people both during and after COVID-19 will continue to be a high priority in 2020-21. We will maintain our preventative focus while detecting and responding early to health and wellbeing risks that may impact the ability of our people to perform at their optimal level. We will continue this support with the further consolidation and improvement of the Wellbeing Program, and the development of a Fatigue Management Policy. Informed by the Capability Review, Tasmania Police will continue to evolve and adapt to ensure it is well placed to meet changing service requirements, including establishment of the Crime and Intelligence Command and deployment of an additional 125 police officers between 2018 and 2022. 2020-21 will continue to be a time of challenge and opportunities for us, and I would like to thank all members of Tasmania Police and our dedicated state service workforce for their professionalism and commitment to our priorities.
